Anti-Snoring Smart Pillow with Dynamic 3D Airbag System and Integrated Snoring Detection Integrated Snoring Detection

A system for addressing snoring and improving sleep quality, the system comprising:

• a) A pillow structure comprising:
• i. A base layer made from a material providing structural integrity;
• ii. A plurality of inflatable butterfly side-push airbags symmetrically positioned on the pillow, configured to tilt the head laterally at angles between 20° and 45°;
• iii. At least one horizontal neck airbag positioned beneath the neck, configured to elevate the neck vertically to align the trachea;
• iv. A soft middle layer composed of viscoelastic material, conforming to the contours of the user's head and neck;
• v. A breathable top layer made from a composite material to ensure comfort and airflow;
• b) A microcontroller integrated into the system, configured to:
• i. Receive input from sensors embedded within the pillow, the sensors including at least audio microphones, vibration sensors, pressure sensors, and position sensors;
• ii. Process data from the sensors using onboard audio processing software, artificial intelligence algorithms, and a machine learning module to detect snoring patterns with an accuracy of at least 98%;
• iii. Activate an air pump to inflate or deflate the butterfly side-push airbags and the horizontal neck airbags based on detected snoring patterns;
• iv. Regulate airbag pressure to maintain optimal inflation levels and prevent overinflation;
• v. Execute a three-phase adjustment sequence, wherein:
• Phase 1 inflates the horizontal neck airbag to elevate the neck vertically;
• Phase 2 inflates the butterfly side-push airbags to tilt the head laterally at a 20° angle;
• and Phase 3 adjusts the lateral tilt to a 45° angle if snoring persists;
• c) A wake-on-noise feature integrated into the microcontroller, configured to activate adjustments upon detecting relevant sounds;
• and
• d) A mobile application configured to communicate with the microcontroller via Bluetooth, wherein the application:
• i. Allows customization of snoring sensitivity settings and intervention timing;
• ii. Provides manual control of airbag movements for personalized comfort;
• iii. Analyzes historical sleep data to generate personalized recommendations;
• and
• iv. Supports remote firmware updates for system enhancements.
